A collection of photographs of various interesting trees and plants that I have found on my travels around Scotland. Most of these focus on texture and patterns.
For the best part of 30 years, I lived on the edge of what is now the Loch Lomond and Argyle National Park in Scotland. These photographs are taken within or on the edge of the national park.
Photographs form my tour of Caithness, Southerland and the north of Scotland taken during the summer of 1999.
A collection of photographs taken throughout the 1990's and early 2000's. The location is the Clyde Costline form Port Glasgow round to Ayr. This covers the counties of Inverclyde and Ayrshire North.
The River Orchey flows form through the center of the Western Highlands of Scotland. As it does so, it cascades over a series of waterfalls.
Glasgow is the largest city in Scotland, located on the west central belt. It was famous for it's heavy engineering.
Probably the most famous and certainly one of the most beautiful and awe inspiring glens in Scotland.
Glenelg attracts tourists to the remains of two of the best-preserved brochs (Dun Telve and Dun Troddan) on mainland Scotland.
A Broch is an Iron Age drystone hollow-walled structure of a type found only in Scotland. Brochs include some of the most sophisticated examples of drystone architecture ever created, and belong to the classification "complex Atlantic Roundhouse" devised by Scottish archaeologists in the 1980s. Their origin is a matter of some controversy. The theory that they were defensive military structures is not accepted by many modern archaeologists (see the 'general references' below), while the alternative notion that they were farmhouses is ridiculed by some others. Although most stand alone in the landscape, some examples exist of brochs surrounded by clusters of smaller dwellings. Brochs were almost certainly originally roofed.
In the north west of Scotland lies the magical island of Skye. However, the road to skye is equally famous. Landmarks such as Eillen Donnan Castle, the Five Sisters, Glenelg and the picturesque village or Plockton. It is worth the visitor to spend some time here before moving on to Skye.
Once a thriving industrial community, now a museum and UNESCO World Heritage Site, New Lanark provides a window into history.
In the centre of the Scottish Highlands lies a large high plato of moorland. This is Rannoch Moor. The A82 road cuts across the western edge of the moor and so gives access to the amazing scenery of the area.
Rosslyn Chapel, near Edinburgh is a ancient church built by the Knights Templar. It is rumoured that the Holly Grail was hidden there. The Chapel became famous in the book and film 'The Da Vince Code'.
Wester Ross is the western part of Rosshire, in the north west of Scotland. It covers the area from Loch Carron up to Ulapool. Within the area are the villages of Lochcarron, Applecross, Shieldaig, Torridon, Kinlochewe, Gairloch, Poolewe, Aultbea, Laide, Ullapool, Achiltibuie. This is a highly scenic but remote part of Scotland. The photographs in this set were all taken over three visits to the area between 1998 and 2007.
My photos of China, a magical and mysterious country which I have called home for over 5 years.
